Name question - Page 1

I see the word in a dog's name as "vom" or "von". What does this mean, and what is the difference between the two.?

Someone can tweak or fine tune this explaination, but basically "von" and "von" are forms of "of" and "from". It identifies which kennel bred the dog. Venja "Von" Der Hohen Eiche translates, Venja "of" or "from" The High Oak. You would know from and instant that this dog was bred in Stuttgart, Germany and the breeder was Herr Lothar Finke. Brenda "Von" Batu, translates Brenda "of" or "from" Batu. You would know from an instant that this dog was bred in Germany and that the breeder was Herr Erich Orschler. Cassi "Von" Haus Henry, translates Cassi "from" the Henry House and you would know that is the kennel located in Lonoke, Arkansas, USA and the breeder is Stephen Henry. The examples can go on and on. Each kennel name has a reputation that goes with it and certain names like Von Batu or Von Bad-Boll that have built excellent reputations of long periods of time are well known and their dogs are sought after "world-wide". Von Der Hohen Eiche may have equally nice dogs, but might not enjoy the name recognition of Von Batu or Von- Bad Boll. There is more to recognition of these names but I don't want to get too far off the topic of your question. Stephen
